Almost 3 Months

I just realized in writing this that I am almost at my 3 month mark. It seems like just last month that I had my surgery, I feel like I should be much further along than I am. I have not lost any thing in the last month. I did get my first fill exactly a month ago. I don't think I have even written about that. I got 3.5 cc's of saline put into my band. I can not tell much of a difference in restriction. I was supposed to have my 2nd fill last week but my office is moving so it was canceled. It is rescheduled for July 27th. Most people in my support group said that they did not feel any restriction until their 3rd fill. So I was prepared to not feel too much restriction after my first fill. I really am looking forward to my next fill.

I have bumped up my exercise. I feel better. My body feels stronger. I gave a talk at my church this past Sunday this past Sunday on the subject of the body being a Temple. I talked a lot about exercise and I motivated myself to work harder. So like I said, not much difference on the scale yet so I have not taken any new pics of me

I do have one positive story I wanted to share. I ran into an friend that I had not seen in a year the other night. The first thing she said was "you have lost so much weight. you look so great!" it really made me feel better. Sometimes i feel like people who say that to me say it just because they know I should be losing weight because of the surgery, but not because I really look any different. So it made me feel good to have someone that had no idea that I even had surgery be able to tell a difference.
